"During the reign of Romulus, they had let their months run on without any certain or equal term; some of them contained twenty days, others thirty-five, others more; they had no sort of knowledge of the inequality in the motions of the sun and moon. (Plutarch, A.D. 75)

Do you know who has changed the calendar the way we know it today ?
How many months had initially had romans ?
How the names of the months have been chosen ?
In your opinion, the current calendar is the best one ?



IMPORTANT. READ BEFORE YOU POST:

This is the first thread from a seria of those dedicated to the human history. The purpose is to remember things we forgot long time ago or learn something new. There is no place for "you are wrong, I am right". Let's simply go back together in time and see if the life was easier in the past.
